In 2002,
Donald Trump told New York Magazine,
"I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy.
He likes beautiful women as much as I do,
and many of them are on the younger side." In 2019, after the arrest, he said,
"I barely knew him. I wasn't a fan." Both of those statements are on record.
Only one of them is true. Fifteen years of terrific.
Fifteen years of fun.
Fifteen years of photographs
at parties you both owned.
Mar-a-Lago dinners. Arms around each other.
Smiling for the cameras in the rooms you built together.
Then the world found out what kind of man he was.
And suddenly the memory got shorter than it was. The cameras don't forget.
And paper doesn't burn.
And every word you printed
is a lesson you can't unlearn. Terrific guy — that's what you said in 2002.
Terrific guy.
He liked them young, you knew.
Terrific guy.
Fifteen years of knowing who he was. And when they asked you later, you said
"I barely knew him. I barely knew him at all." Stephen Colbert held the photos one by one by one.
Five images of memory that couldn't be undone.
The audience went quiet, not from shock of something new,
but from the way of watching someone's words come back to undo them. You called it casual, you called it Palm Beach.
You called it nothing special, just a social circle showing.
But the man beside you in the photos had a private jet,
had an island, had a list of names.
The world has not forgotten yet. The cameras don't forget.
And paper doesn't burn.
And every word you printed
is a lesson you can't unlearn. Terrific guy — that's what you said in 2002.
Terrific guy.
He liked them young.
Terrific guy.
Fifteen years of knowing who he was. And when they asked you later, you said,
"I barely knew him. I barely knew him at all." He banned him from Mar-a-Lago. That's what the story became.
After the first arrest in 2008, after the headlines came.
But the photos are from after 2000 and the quote is from 2002.
And the flight logs are public record.
And the logs don't need anyone's permission to tell the truth. Terrific guy — that's what you said in 2002.
Terrific guy.
Terrific guy.
He liked them young, you knew.
Terrific guy. Fifteen years of knowing who he was. And when they asked you later, you said,
"I barely knew him. I barely knew him at all." The photographs are still there.
The magazine is still there.
The quotes are still there.
Somebody always knew.
Somebody always knows.
